Overall a wonderful movie which leaves me thinking for a long time, which is all I ask. 7) The revolutionaries/terrorists/fishes are shown to be just as political and militant as the government they oppose. 6) Similar to (5), using the term "Homeland Security" in the movie is an obvious reference. Being an Australian, with our controversial immigration laws and practices, that rings true. 5) I've read separately that yes this is a comment on current society. As a viewer you are almost willing him to do so, to manage some of his challenges - but very deliberately the character does not. 4) Theo as the central character NEVER picks up a gun, despite them being all over the place and easily available. Just the way it should be, allowing us to focus on the story. 3) Like "Code46" the technology is in the background. Hollywood would get rid of it, but for this movie it adds amazingly to the atmosphere that is being created. There is one scene where the camera lens has blood splats on it for quite a few minutes.
OK, I only got through the first 3 pages of comments but let me add my own. But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan. But, you know, everything happens for a reason. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?
You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic. He had little hands, little legs, little feet. But they were there because of what they believed in in the first place, their faith. Jasper: Yeah, there you go! Julian and Theo met among a million protestors in a rally by chance. You've got faith over here, right? And chance over there. Jasper: Strawberries? That's what it's called: Strawberry Cough! Jasper: Everything is a mythical, cosmic battle between faith and chance.
